OT: Stocking stuffer/Cheap back up
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812156017
My IT guy turned me on to this. He uses it for trouble shooting but I’m thinking really cheap back up. Just add any IDE/sata drive you have laying around. The only issue is the plugs seem a bit delicate.
Just the thing for that special someone with drive issues.

it would not be a good idea to keep your backups out of a inclosure, there would be nothing to protect the drive, especialy if it gets tuched bysome one with even a tiny amount of static electricity, that could posibly distroy the electronic cercutry on the drive.

It’s been my experience that even poorly handled drives are much more survivable than you would think. Kept in thier anti-stat plastic, I think this would be a viable option for short term back-up. But yes, only for the cautious.
